Hm. 

I showed that screenshot to Pedro and he tells me there's a Firefox plugin that will do that, and it's really useful. 

Here's the link: http://udtoolbar.mozdev.org/

I think I'ma try that.

damn.

so. let's say that I have wayyyy too many alternates, because I kept getting pissed off when they died and just making new guys. And I have to pick between them, to whittle it down to 2.

do I go with the guy with tons of ammo, a shotgun, and an extra pistol... or do I go for the guy who is completely free of ammo, but has 50 xp? I am keeping one of my medics, I just have to pick which one.


answer: I am now playing only with J Roberts and Silke Sen (I am sorry, it is the name of a real person. She interviewed me at Wash U, and was quite pretty. I found her business card when I was cleaning some stuff up in my room, and liked the name.) Silke is a soldier, J is a medic. Silke has two pistols and a shotgun, and is basically kicking ass+taking names. Should I get free running first, or some further development of Shooting-type thing?

When I talked to Pedro, who is nearly as high-level as Ben-San, he suggested getting Free Running first and combat skills second because free running allows you access to lots of weapons.  Good combat skills aren't worth much if you can't get ammo. 

I have limited myself to one main char. and one alt. because I am easily obsessed and don't want to spend my days strung out on the couch playing UD while my kid eats skittles in his high chair, naked except for a dishtowel that serves as a makeshift diaper.

The priority order really depends on your situation. I had the good luck to find myself early on in the vicinity of Crossman Grove Police Department, which at the time was well-defended with a newbie-friendly barricading policy and a healthy local zombie population, so I had access to ammo without the need for Free Running. Being military meant I could advance those skills quickly, and nothing rakes in XP like well-supplied combat skills.

Sadly, two different factions decided to declare themselves the kings of CGPD independently, so I eventually cleared out. Anyway, the point is that if you can get access to ammo without Free Running it can be very worthwhile (particularly for military) to pump up your combat skills first.

Oh, and a footnote for people playing multiple alts: don't play them in the same part of town. More than one active alt from the same IP in the same part of town will apply an invisible penalty to all their attacks.

Free Running is basically always the first skill to get. It's so easy to die if you don't. However, in this game it doesn't really matter if you die, so . . .

Did you at least say "hi! We miss you, you big lug!"?

Or... the zombie equivalent?
